If you follow the teachings of the lord Jesus christ you will become his disciple
Who is disciple. A disciple is one who has been taught, mentored by a teacher and who is willing to follow his teachings and abide in them,
The making of disciple was the great commission Amd Jesus last instruction to the disciple in Matthew 28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
The reason why Jesus Could trust them with such heavy assignments is because they have been with him he had taught them, groomed and mentor them till they are now matured,..... and so it was set time for them to launch .....
One thing caught my attention here as Bro Eli narrated this scripture, you see he asked how can you become a disciple when you have not first been taught, to be a disciple you have to be willing to follow exactly every instruction and internalized every instruction, so before you can hold another by the hand and and say come you yourself have to be fortified with sufficient knowledge of the word....
Just like we saw in....
And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. Relief to Judea
The disciples were first called. CHRISTIAN AT ANTIOCH, people who observed began to come close, and so began to teach more and lead as many to christ so it is to become a true disciple, at this point they were like Jesus in every things, that's way it ought to be, because they were taught by him and they followed him and did all he did ....
So are we to do same become effective disciples of christ not just by words but by deeds also
